Where to Find the Best Breakfast in Perth

Inconspicuously nestled on many a suburban corner, city laneway or waterside locale, there is an abundance of tasty cafes to delve into for the best breakfast in Perth.

Little Bay Perth

While on a quest to reveal the best breakfast in Perth, from charming Subiaco to bustling Fremantle, we also discovered that Perth is potentially the café capital of the nation. We would like to declare we were too busy sampling the most important meal of the day to neither confirm nor deny this outlandish claim.

Ranging from eggy classics to baked goodies, we’ve even managed to be inspired by our Asian neighbours for the best breakfast in Perth.  

Canteen Trigg

Canteen Trigg

This bright and airy beachside cafe oozes the authentic, laid-back coastal vibe of Trigg, with a delicious mix of fresh, locally sourced breakfast and brunch options, alongside excellent coffee. There’s plenty of seating inside, you can grab a table outside to savour your coffee in the sunshine, or take your tray down to the sand, only steps away, and enjoy with a side of unbeatable ocean views. Menu standouts include the smashed avo toast (served with a crunchy dukkah) and the hotcakes with berry compote and mascarpone whip. 

364 West Coast Drive, Trigg

Butterman

Butterman 

Located at Perth Airport, Butterman is elevating the airport food game to new, delicious heights. We’ve finally got the perfect spot to grab a pre-flight breakfast or brunch that’s a far cry from stale and boring. The focaccia is freshly baked in-house, the flavour-packed menu is crafted with premium produce and there’s a focus on the ingredient that’s always been the true hero of the morning - butter. Indulge in items such as the tiramisu ice cream sandwich, the brisket stack, the buttermilk fried chicken burger, the prawn puttanesca pasta or fan favourite - the Reuben sandwich. 

10 High Street, Perth Airport  

Eggspot

Eggspot

Known for its innovative take on the classic eggs for brekkie, Eggspot has fast become a go-to breakfast spot (and an exceptional hangover cure). Eggspot sling their delicious egg burger creations from the Freo Markets and their storefront in North Perth. With mouthwatering combos like kransky and hash brown, or fried chicken and bacon, it’s no wonder this place is such a hit - hangover or not.

Bib & Tucker

Bib & Tucker

An oceanside table with Immaculate views across Leighton beach, a relaxed vibe and excellent coffee awaits at this North Fremantle favourite. Bib & Tucker offer all day dining, but there are some all-time classics on the breakfast menu that you definitely need to try. We can’t go past the zucchini and haloumi fritters or the Turkish eggs. SO good.

Good Things

Good Things 

This Fremantle cafe is all Good Things! This light-filled, friendly spot is one of our all time favourites, for the fluffiest, diner-style and seasonal buttermilk hotcakes, the creamiest coffee and some of the best eggs in town. The poached eggs with hollandaise, pickled zucchini and thick cut sourdough are undeniable, as are the Korean sambal-scramble. Add a side of fried chicken to anything and you really can't go wrong here.

Nogi Lane

Nogi Lane

Nogi Lane is a modern neighbourhood cafe in north-reaching Dianella, where you'll find a talented chef playing on brunch classics by way of his Burmese and Indian heritage. Think eggs benedict with a cardamom-spiked hollandaise; prawn toast with garlic chive omelette, heirloom tomatoes on toast with stracciatella and avocado, and a masterful sticky date pudding baked pancake topped with caramel popcorn, coconut caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Coffee is by Five Senses. For a breakfast in Perth with a difference, you don't want to miss out on a visit to Nogi Lane.

Settle into the bright and bustling venue, taking cues from its industrial setting, and order up something for everyone - from smoked shakshuka with cumin and tahini butter and a beef brekky burger with bacon, fried egg, cheese, ranch and chipotle, to chia seed porridge with a blueberry compote, and stracciatella on charred toast with avocado, broccolini, edamame, chilli oil and kale chips.

You can almost hear distinct New York accents in the distance when ordering off the Jewish menu at Satchmo Café. Matzo ball chicken soup, knish and bagels sit nicely beside New Orleans classics like Louisiana gumbo and the Buffalo fried chicken sandwich. This beatnik North Perth haven serves breakfast all day and is wildly entertaining on Sunday mornings with live blues and jazz, rightly so since Louis Armstrong inspired this charming café.
